Well yuh git de dirt out of dat grave dere an' yuh sprinkle it undah de doorstep in de front an' in de back, where dey have tuh cross ovah all de time. An' de evil from dat dead man will jis' natchly entah dat household an' de people dere'll begin tuh disagree, an' fuss an' fight, an' event'ly dey'll move away.
